Doll House Remodel-Part 4

Part 4

Roofing

Now that the floors are finished I was able to pick up some shingles and get the roof done. I found some single split shingles at Hobby Lobby back in August. Following the instructions on the packet I marked the shingle lines on the front and back roofs.

Then I plugged in the glue gun and went to work.

Starting at the bottom row I glued about three shingles down at a time. If you do this make sure your 3 and 5 year old are not right next to you trying to help and see what you are doing. Your hand will probably get burned and you will want to curse.

Ta-da! Doesn't it look cuter?

I need 6 or 7 more shingles and there is not a Hobby Lobby within 8 hours of my home-so I just moved on to the next step.

Paint. I mixed these three colors together and even painted a light coat of just brown to give it a little more depth.

The dark paint completely changes the look of the house.

I just painted where the missing shingles go-that way it isn't blatantly obvious that it is missing some.

Roofing is done-now the finish work begins.
